These all are truly superb images, top notch work to say the least. I'm heading there myself later in the year and hope I come back with one image as good as these! One nit, there is are a couple of dust specs behind the Eli

Loved the links Harsha, your commentary is wonderful, I felt like I was there.

Thank you very much Tim. I can't wait to see what you come up later this year. Eric and you- I am so jealous.

Big animals are something I never have photographed so it is a pleasure to see you do it in such a wonderful way

#1 nice relaxing light, would love to see you take the 'edge' off the BG and soften it a bit to separate the cats better
#2 This one just locks me on, wonderful!
#3 Animal scapes are one of your specialties, nice to take in as much environment as possible The BG is loaded with sensor spots on this one?
#4 The warmth against the greens is wonderful Harsha, pattern is eye catching I like this one a lot and it would IMO look sweet also in a tighter crop, very sweet buddy.
#5 These pups sure look like scrappers, certainly some markings on the nose to prove it too! Nice one
#6 Ohhhh my isn't this lovely, wow what a beauty my friend
#7 If wrinkles could talk there would be a lengthy listening to appreciate here! Nice portrayal of size and grace.

Thanks for sharing....

Hi Karl,
Very much appreciate the suggestions and comments. I need to clean my sensor. D3 doesn't have a sensor cleaner and it shows. I don't have that problem with my D800.

Harsha, these are a beautiful set of images because of the subject matter, compositions, and your very fine processing.
I kept going back to review and pick some favorites but I finally realized they're all equally good and I really enjoyed the whole gallery.
Excellent work Harsha.

Superb portraits all around, seems your lens decision was correct. Sometime too long and heavy can be more of a hindrance indeed and the 200-400 would be very versatile.
Thanks. At first I was bit hesitant to take the 200-400. I am used to my 600 that worked perfect in Tanzania. 200-400 end up being the perfect lens for Botswana.
